AI Article Synopsis

  • The study explored the effectiveness of Vis/NIR spectroscopy for quickly and non-invasively identifying transgenic vs. conventional tomato leaves using spectral diffuse reflectance.
  • A total of 68 samples were analyzed, and various statistical methods, including discriminant analysis (DA) and partial least squares (PLS), were employed for classification.
  • The best classification model, which used multiplicative signal correction (MSC), achieved an overall accuracy of 89.7%, indicating that Vis-NIR spectroscopy is a viable method for distinguishing between these types of tomato leaves.

Article Abstract

The feasibility of Vis/NIR spectroscopy technique for rapid and non-invasive detection of transgenic tomato leaves from conventional ones was investigated by means of spectral diffuse reflectance mode. A total of 68 samples (38 transgenic ones and 30 non-transgenic ones) were used for classification. The calibration and validation results were analyzed via discriminant analysis (DA) and partial least squares (PLS) discriminant method using TQ 6.2. 1 quantitative software. Models based on the different spectral pre-processing methods (multiplicative signal correction (MSC), first and second derivative) were compared. It was found that the classification accuracy using DA was higher than that using PLS and the best results were gained by using spectra after MSC with InGaAs detector and the classification accuracy was 89.7% (accuracy of 86.8% for transgenic samples and 93.3% for non-transgenic ones). The results show that Vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy technique is a feasible and fast method for non-invasive detection of transgenic and non-transgenic tomato leaves.

Background: Neuroimaging studies have shown that hypothalamic/thalamic nuclei and other distant brain regions belonging to complex cerebral networks are involved in cluster headache (CH). However, the exact relationship between these areas, which may be dependent or independent, remains to be understood. We investigated differences in resting-state functional connectivity (FC) between brain networks and its relationship with the microstructure of the hypothalamus and thalamus in patients with episodic CH outside attacks and healthy controls (HCs).

Objectives: This study aimed to compare apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values derived from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of different Borrmann types of advanced gastric cancer (AGC) and correlate these ADC values with Ki-67 expression and serum CEA levels in AGC.

Methods: A total of 84 patients with AGC who underwent DWI of the upper abdomen before tumor resection in our hospital between June 2014 and July 2018 were included in the present study. DWI was obtained with a single-shot echo planar imaging sequence in the axial plane (b values: 0, 100, 700 and 1000 s/mm).

Background: In multiple sclerosis (MS), susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) may reveal white matter lesions (WML) with a paramagnetic rim ("paramagnetic rim lesions" [PRLs]) or diffuse hypointensity ("core-sign lesions"), reflecting different stages of WML evolution.

Objective: Using the soma and neurite density imaging (SANDI) model on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we characterized microstructural abnormalities of MS PRLs and core-sign lesions and their clinical relevance.

Methods: Forty MS patients and 20 healthy controls (HC) underwent a 3 T brain MRI.

White Matter Tract Crossing and Bottleneck Regions in the Fetal Brain.

Hum Brain Mapp

Computational Radiology Laboratory, Department of Radiology, Boston Children's Hospital, and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

There is a growing interest in using diffusion MRI to study the white matter tracts and structural connectivity of the fetal brain. Recent progress in data acquisition and processing suggests that this imaging modality has a unique role in elucidating the normal and abnormal patterns of neurodevelopment in utero. However, there have been no efforts to quantify the prevalence of crossing tracts and bottleneck regions, important issues that have been investigated for adult brains.

This study details the synthesis of a novel ternary nanocomposite composed of MnFeO, FeVO, and modified zeolite, achieved through a two-step process. The initial step involved the hydrothermal synthesis of the MnFeO/FeVO composite, followed by its application onto modified zeolite using ultrasonic waves. The synthesized nanocomposite was thoroughly characterized using a range of analytical techniques.
